Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a wood-fired grill or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Brush 8 lamb chops with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano.
  2. Step 2: Place lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once, until nicely charred and juicy.
  3. Step 3: While lamb cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 large pieces of torn pita bread and 4 minced garlic cloves, stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes until the pita crumbs are golden brown and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the toasted pita crumbs over the lamb and drizzle with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice for brightness before serving.
